unloved
« on: 15 September 2009, 10:10:43 »
I have just read a book called UNLOVED by a Peter Roche, a true story about his childhood. you cannot believe the horrific physical and mental cruelty he had to endure mostly at the hands of his mother, whilst father stood by and let it happen.
The child is now in his late forties   and has written the above book, on the front cover is a photo of a child in rags taken in 1965 . This photo was taken by Lord Snowdon and apparently shocked the world at the time, as it was part of a nspcc campaign to bring to light the cruelty still in the country.
This photo is the child Peter Roche at 2 years old found living in a hovel full of bruises for the photographer Lord Snowdon and all his team to see.
After they took their photos they left this child back with its so called mother, to suffer further years of endless abuse, .
Remember these photos were for the nspcc to bring about their campaign.
Lord Snowdon to this day or should I say his estate now, has full copyrights to the series of photos they took of this abused child that they then abandoned.
I think it is disgusting that he made a profit from these photos which apparently he did as they sold worldwide, and never once offered any money to the abandond child.
Apparently according to Peter roche he did meet up with Lord snowdon when he was an adult , and all snowdon could say was that he hadnt changed much !
it beggars belief doesnt it.
we have so much to learn and such a short time to learn it in

It's horrible to realise that some people don't have a soul, and all they can think of are themselves.  To think that people actually get enjoyment out of other peoples misery is beyond belief but they do exist.  If there is life after death, I just hope they're made to suffer
